Kim Schrier, Democrat running for US Congress in the 8th Congressional
Republican Dino Rossi is losing badly on election night in his bid for US Congressman.
District, which includes Sammamish, jumped to a commanding lead over Republican Dino Rossi.
Schrier received 55% of the election night vote over Rossi, who lives in Sammamish. As expected, Schrier’s base lies in Democratic King County. The 8th includes portions of Pierce County and all of Kittitas and Chelan counties.
A loss by Rossi would be his fourth in a row. He lost twice for governor and once for US Senator.
Democrats appear to be sweeping State Senate and State Representative seats in the 5th, 41st and 45th Legislative districts.
The 5th includes the greater Klahanie area. The 41st is roughly the southern half of Sammamish and the 45th the norther half, roughly along a line of SE 8th St.
Election night results are below the jump.
Historically, election night results vary only a point or two from the final results, which won’t be tallied until after Thanksgiving.
The Sammamish Community Center, a $33m facility funded with $28m of Sammamish taxpayers’ money and operated exclusively by the Y, generated at least $1.4m in surplus that is being sent to Seattle Y, raising questions regarding accounting methods.
